Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Reflexive Property | For every number a, a = a. |
| Symmetric Property | For all numbers a & b, if a = b, then b = a.(ex. the segment GH = segment HG) |
| Transitive Property | For all numbers a, b & c, if a = b & b = c, then a = c. (A bit like the law of syllogism) |
| Add/Subtract Property | For all numbers a, b, & c, if a = b, then a + c = b + c and a - c = b - c.(ex. 1 ft = 12 inches, 1 ft + 3 inches = 12 in ches+ 3 inches) |
| Mult/Division Property | For all numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, then a c = b c, and if c not equal to zero, a ÷ c = b ÷ c.(ex. 1 m = 1000 mm, 1 m 5 = 1000 mm 5, 5 m = 5000 mm) |
| Substitution Property | For all numbers a & b, if a = b, then a may be replaced by b in any equation or expression. |
| Distributive Property | For all numbers a, b, & c, a(b + c) = ab + ac. |
